About the Role
 
Lyndoch Living is a dynamic, purpose-driven aged care community where exceptional care and genuine connection come together.

With 24/7 nursing support and the ability to care for residents with high or complex needs, our five-residence home allows staff to deliver tailored care that evolves with residents—all in one supportive, well-resourced environment.

We foster a homely, respectful culture where residents thrive, and staff are empowered to make a real difference. Our highly trained nurses and personal care workers are backed by ongoing education, strong teamwork, and leadership that understands how important a smooth transition is for residents and staff alike.

At Lyndoch, you’re not just doing a job—you’re building relationships, growing your skills, and being part of a team that truly cares.

Step into a leadership role where your influence truly matters. We’re seeking a strong and capable Nurse Unit Manager to lead our high care memory support unit, providing confident clinical leadership, clear direction, and a calm, compassionate presence in a complex care environment.

This is a full-time, Monday to Friday position, offering consistency and the opportunity to build strong relationships with residents, families, and staff. You’ll lead by example, inspire and support a dedicated team, shape a positive and accountable care culture, and make a meaningful difference to the lives of residents who rely on consistency, dignity, and expert care.

No two days are the same!

As Nurse Unit Manager you will:
  • Provide strong clinical and operational leadership to the high care memory support unit, ensuring safe, high-quality, person-centred care at all times.
  • Lead, support, and mentor nursing and care staff, fostering a positive, accountable, and engaged team culture.
  • Oversee day-to-day unit operations, including staffing oversight, clinical coordination, and effective use of resources.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant clinical standards, policies, and regulatory requirements, and actively manage clinical risk.
  • Drive continuous quality improvement initiatives, responding to incidents, audits, and feedback to enhance care outcomes.
  • Collaborate closely with residents, families, multidisciplinary teams, and senior leadership to support consistent, compassionate care delivery.
About You
  • Current registration as a Registered Nurse with AHPRA.
  • Demonstrated experience in a nursing leadership or management role, preferably within a high-care or memory support environment.
  • Proven ability to lead, motivate, and manage teams, including performance development and staff engagement.
  • Strong clinical knowledge and sound judgement, with a commitment to high-quality, person-centred care.
  • Well-developed communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with residents, families, and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic care setting.
